Makro Online Misleading "Promotional" pricing

Makro Online - Predatory and Misleading "Promotional" Pricing I have been shopping on Makro Online for a while, but the pricing has become impossible to ignore. It is not just expensive - it is deliberately misleading. Items are routinely listed as being "ON PROMOTION" with a percentage off, yet the "discounted" price is still 2 to 10 TIMES the normal retail price anywhere else in South Africa. This is a textbook case of misleading pricing under the Consumer Protection Act. I double-check every item against Checkers, Sixty60 and Google Shopping. Just TODAY, from my shopping list: 1. Handy Andy Kitchen Spray 6-Pack - R795.00 (Marked "11% OFF")That is R132.50 PER BOTTLE. This product is R50-R60 per bottle at Checkers, Pick n Pay and everywhere else. Your "11% off" price is still more than DOUBLE the full price elsewhere. 2. Handy Andy Potpourri Cream 6-Pack - R499.00 (Marked "9% OFF")That is R83.16 per bottle. It is R29.99 per bottle at Checkers TODAY. Again, nearly TRIPLE the price, disguised as a promotion. 3. Sunlight Soap 250g - R1,784.00 (Marked "28% OFF")This is the most ludicrous one. A single 250g bar of Sunlight is R16.00 in any supermarket. You are charging what appears to be over R1000 for what should cost less than R100. A 28% discount on an insanely inflated price is not a deal, it is deception. And this is not 3 isolated errors. There are DOZENS of examples like this every time I shop. I have screenshots. This makes me question who is actually benefiting. Is Makro inflating the "was" price to create a **** promotion, or is there no price oversight on your marketplace sellers at all? Either way, Makro is responsible for what is sold on your platform. It feels predatory, targeting customers who trust the Makro name and won't compare prices. Makro, you need to audit your entire online store. This is not competitive pricing, it is price gouging disguised as value.
